Celebrities with Overactive Bladders
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition when the bladder squeezes urine out at the wrong time. Those with OAB usually feel the sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate. OAB may even lead to leaking of urine which is called "incontinence." According to the Urology Care Foundation, about 33 million Americans are affected by OAB. However, thousands more could be suffering without treatment due to being embarrassed to ask their doctor or because they are unaware of treatments. OAB can feel like a lonely journey, but as many as 30 percent of men and 40 percent of women deal with this condition everyday. With so many affected, it’s no wonder a few celebrities have been diagnosed with OAB.
